Virtual Crypto Technologies, Inc.
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 and 2018
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1. The Company and Significant Accounting Policies.
Organizational Background:
Virtual Crypto Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Ohio in 1989 under a predecessor name, Zaxis International, Inc. (“Zaxis”). On August 25, 1995, Zaxis merged with a subsidiary of The InFerGene Company, a Delaware corporation, which entity changed its name to Zaxis International, Inc. and the Company was reincorporated in Delaware under the name of Zaxis International, Inc. On December 30, 2014, Zaxis entered into an agreement with Emerald Medical Applications Ltd., a private limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Israel (“Emerald Israel”).
On March 16, 2015, Zaxis and Emerald Israel executed the Share Exchange Agreement, which closed on July 14, 2015 (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) and Emerald Israel became the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary. Emerald Israel was engaged in the business of developing Emerald Israel’s DermaCompare technology and the development, sale and service of imaging solutions utilizing its DermaCompare software for use in derma imaging and analytics for the detection of skin cancer.
On January 17, 2018, the Company formed a new wholly owned subsidiary under the laws of the State of Israel, Virtual Crypto Technologies Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”), to develop and market software and hardware products facilitating, allowing and supporting purchase and/or sale of cryptocurrencies through ATMs, tablets, personal computers (“PCs”) and/or mobile devices.
Going Concern:
The Company has incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows from operating activities in relation to its operations, since inception. While the Company raised approximately $1.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2018 to fund the operations of its New Subsidiary, the Company will require additional capital resources in order to support the commercialization of the New Subsidiary’s technology and operations and maintain its research and development activities related to the New Subsidiary’s technology. The Company is addressing its liquidity needs by seeking additional funding from public and/or private sources. There are no assurances, however, that the Company will be able to obtain an adequate level of financial resources that are required for the Company’s short and long-term requirements, or at all these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies:
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, the Subsidiary, prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. The financial statements presented herein have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm but include all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the period. However, these results are not necessarily indicative of results for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make certain estimates and assumptions for the reporting periods covered by the financial statements. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual amounts could differ from these estimates.
F-5 |
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the SEC on March 28, 2019 (the “Annual Report”).

Recent Accounting Standards announced
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The amendments apply to reporting entities that are required to make disclosures about recurring or nonrecurring fair value measurements and should improve the cost, benefit, and effectiveness of the disclosures. ASU 2018-13 categorized the changes into those disclosures that were removed, those that were modified, and those that were added. The primary disclosures that were removed related to transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 investments, along with the policy for timing of transfers between levels. In addition, disclosing the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements was removed. The amendments are effective for all organizations for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company notes that this guidance will impact its disclosures beginning January 1, 2020.
Note 2. Convertible Notes.
The following convertible promissory notes bear interest at 1% per annually, are convertible at a price of $0.01 per share and are repayable through January 1, 2020.

Note 4. Related Party Transactions.
Other than transactions and balances related to cash and share based compensation to officers and directors and other than the issuances of convertible debt to certain investors, and payments in respect of consulting fees to certain shareholders with beneficial holdings of greater that 5% of $75,000 and $ nil during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, the Company did not have any transactions and balances with related parties and executive officers during these periods.
As a result of the issuance of the convertible notes in the prior years, certain may hold convertible notes allowing them to convert the notes in excess of 5% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Accordingly, such investors may be deemed to be related parties under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. In addition, certain investors receive fees for consulting services provided to the Company, as noted above.
Note 5. Subsequent Events.
On May 2, 2019, the company issued 750,000 restricted shares to the Company’s CEO and 750,000 restricted shares to the Company’s CFO in the lieu of services provided to the Company. The fair value of the 1,500,000 restricted shares was $51,300.

Overview and background
On January 17, 2018, Virtual Crypto Technologies, Inc. (the “Registrant” or “Company”) formed Virtual Crypto Technologies Ltd as a new wholly-owned subsidiary under the laws of the State of Israel (“Virtual Crypto Israel”) and appointed Mr. Alon Dayan, who has served as the Registrant’s Chief Executive Officer since June 30, 2018 and has been a member of the Company’s Board of Directors since March 14, 2018, as CEO of Virtual Crypto Israel. Virtual Crypto Israel was formed to develop and market software and hardware products facilitating, allowing and supporting purchase and/or sale of cryptocurrencies through ATMs, tablets, PCs and/or mobile devices (the “Products”).
On January 29, 2018, pursuant to resolution of the Registrant’s Board of Directors, the Registrant transferred the management shares of the Registrant’s former Israeli subsidiary, Emerald Medical Applications Ltd. (“Emerald IL”) to Attorney Eviatar Knoller, Esq., with offices in Tel Aviv-Jaffa, Israel, as trustee (the “Trustee”) for the purpose of enabling the Trustee to liquidate the management shares and/or the assets of Emerald IL to satisfy its debts.

Recent Developments
Share Exchange Agreement
The operations of Virtual Crypto Israel only generated revenues of $100,000 during the year end December 31, 2018 from one customer, Chiron, who has encountered financial difficulties. During 2018, we spent $790,413 in order to develop our systems in an industry that has experienced significant difficulties over the last 18 months. We believe that this has led to a decrease in the anticipated demand for Virtual Crypto Israel’s products and services. Therefore, on February 7, 2019, we filed a Form 8-K reporting that the Registrant entered into a share exchange agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with Algomizer Ltd., an Israeli Corporation (“Algomizer”), pursuant to which Algomizer will assign, transfer and deliver its 99.83% holdings in Viewbix Ltd., an Israeli corporation, to us in exchange for shares of restricted common stock of representing 65% of the issued and outstanding share capital of the Company on a fully diluted basis on the closing date, excluding certain warrants to purchase shares of common stock, which will expire in 2020 and with an exercise price representing a valuation equal to $30,000,000 (“Fully Diluted Share Capital”). In addition, upon the earlier of: (a) the launch of a live video product to an American consumer in the U.S by Viewbix Ltd., or (b) the launch of an interactive television product to an American consumer in the U.S., Viewbix Ltd., we will issue Algomizer additional shares of restricted common stock of the Company representing 5% of the Fully Diluted Share Capital.
Furthermore, on the closing date, we will issue Algomizer: (i) warrants to purchase shares of restricted common stock with an exercise price representing a valuation for the Company of $15,000,000 on Fully Diluted Share Capital basis, which will represent 10% of the Fully Diluted Share Capital immediately following the closing, which warrants will be exercisable for a period of ten years, and (ii) warrants to purchase shares of restricted common stock with an exercise price representing a valuation for the Company of $25,000,000 on Fully Diluted Share Capital basis, which will represent 10% of the Fully Diluted Share Capital immediately following the closing, which latter warrants will be exercisable for a period of ten years.
The closing of the Share Exchange Agreement is conditioned upon us filing an amendment to our certificate of incorporation to change the Company’s name to ViewBix Inc., effecting a reverse split of our shares of common stock at a ratio of 1:15, which we intend to effect whether or not the transactions under the Share Exchange Agreement will consummate, conversion of our outstanding convertible notes into shares of restricted common stock and Algomizer obtaining a tax pre-ruling from the Israeli Tax Authority relating to the Share Exchange Agreement.
ViewBix Ltd., through its ViewBix Studio, provides its clients with a video engagement platform designed to add enhanced branding and interactive elements – from call-to-action buttons to email captures – to digital videos. ViewBix Studio is simple, intuitive and requires no coding experience, thereby enabling clients to enhance videos and publish them across any platform, for any device in just minutes. Videos enhanced by Viewbix are compatible with existing ad serving, measurement and analytics platforms and easily work within existing agency or client processes for launching advertising campaigns. Beyond adding interactions to video, Viewbix uses second-by-second measurement of engagements to uncover contextual insights as to what, when and how users are engaging or responding to brand messaging.

Reverse Stock Split
On February 26, 2019, stockholders holding a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock approved an amendment to our certificate of incorporation in order to affect a reverse stock split of the of our common stock on a 1-for-15 basis. We intend to affect such reverse stock split once all approvals for such actions are obtained.
Pursuant to the Reverse stock split, each fifteen (15) shares of our common stock will be automatically converted, without any further action by our stockholders, into one share of common stock. No fractional shares will be issued as the result of the reverse stock split. Instead, each stockholder will be entitled to receive one share of common stock in lieu of the fractional share that would have resulted from the reverse stock split.
Results of Operations
Results of Operations During the Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 as Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2018
Our research and development expenses were $9,413 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, as compared to $54,011 during the same period in the prior year. The decrease was due to downsizing of the research and development team expenses and slowdown in the development for our virtual crypto products.
Our general and administrative expenses decreased to $191,210 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to $1,064,283 during the same period in the prior year. The significant decrease was due to non-cash consulting expenses in 2018 paid by way of issuances of the Company’s shares and warrants to certain consultants who assisted in the establishment of the new business.
Our marketing expenses decreased to $ nil for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to $310,000 during the same period in the prior year. The significant decrease was due to the reduction in operations.
Interest income increased to $115,965 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, as compared to interest expenses of $19,374,082 during the same period in the prior year. The income during the period in 2019 was primarily as a result of the changes of the terms of certain convertible notes that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2019. The significant expenses in 2018 is as a result of the changes of the terms of certain convertible notes that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2018, primarily, the decrease in the conversion price per share from $0.14 to $0.01 per share.

There are no limitations in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation on the Company’s ability to borrow funds or raise funds through the issuance of shares of its common stock to affect a business combination. The Company’s limited resources and lack of having cash-generating business operations may make it difficult to borrow funds or raise capital. The Company’s limitations to borrow funds or raise funds through the issuance of restricted capital stock required to effect or facilitate a business combination may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and future prospects, including the ability to complete a business combination.
Until such time as the Company can generate substantial revenues, the Company expects to finance its cash needs through a combination of the sale of its equity and/or convertible debt securities, debt financing and strategic alliances and collaborations. The Company does not have any committed external source of funds. To the extent that the Company raises additional capital through the sale of its equity and/or convertible debt securities, the ownership interest of its stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our common stockholders. Debt financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. To the extent that debt financing ultimately proves to be available, any borrowing will subject us to various risks traditionally associated with indebtedness, including the risks of interest rate fluctuations and insufficiency of cash flow to pay principal and interest, including debt of an acquired business. If the Company raises funds through additional collaborations or strategic alliances with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our future revenue streams and/or distribution arrangements. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. If the Company is unable to raise additional funds through equity and/or debt financings when needed or on attractive terms, the Company may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate the operations of some or all of its business segments.
Going Concern:
The Company has incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows from operating activities in relation to its operations, since inception. While the Company raised approximately $1.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2018 to fund the operations of its New Subsidiary, the Company will require additional capital resources in order to support the commercialization of the New Subsidiary’s technology and operations and maintain its research and development activities related to the New Subsidiary’s technology. The Company is addressing its liquidity needs by seeking additional funding from public and/or private sources. There are no assurances, however, that the Company will be able to obtain an adequate level of financial resources that are required for the Company’s short and long-term requirements, or at all these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of March 31, 2019, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer conducted an evaluation (the “Evaluation”) regarding the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based upon the evaluation of these controls and procedures required by Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of March 31, 2019 under the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) because of certain material weaknesses.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting or in other factors identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures or its internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. The Company’s control systems are designed to provide such reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include, but are not limited to, the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

We are currently not involved in any litigation that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations, except as set forth below. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of our company, threatened against or affecting our company, our common stock, our officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect, other than as set forth below.
In April 2017, a lawsuit was filed with the Tel Aviv court by Mr. Wayn claiming certain damages to the total amount of $100,000, under the assertion of wrongful dismissal by the Registrant and Emerald IL. The Registrant believes these claims to be unsubstantiated and wholly without merit and intends to defend itself against these claims. The Company believes that he will not be successful in his claim. Nevertheless, the outcome of the proceeding will not materially affect the Registrant.
In December 2017, a liquidation request was filed with the Tel Aviv District Court by a group of former employees of Emerald IL, under the assertion of delay of pay and insolvency. On December 20, 2017, at a hearing before the court, it was ordered that the Emerald IL shall settle its pension debts to the former employees under applicable Israeli law within 21 days and settle its other debts to them in 60 days, the failure of which would result in a winding-up order (the equivalent of a liquidation) could be given. Based on the collaboration of Emerald IL and its former employees and the fact that the Company was in negotiation with third-parties for the infusion of equity capital and has started negotiating the sale of certain assets, the Company’s legal advisors believe that the liquidation claim will be dismissed by the court. The amounts being claimed by the former employees was less than $96,000 and are included in current liabilities at December 31, 2018.
On January 29, 2018, the “Registrant”) transferred the ordinary shares of the Registrant’s former Israeli subsidiary, Emerald IL to Attorney Eviatar Knoller, Esq., with offices at 20 Lincoln, Tel Aviv-Jaffa 6713412, as trustee (the “Trustee”). The purpose of the transfer of the management shares to the Trustee, pursuant to resolution of the Registrant’s Board of Directors, was to enable the Trustee to liquidate the management shares and/or the assets of Emerald IL to satisfy its debts and satisfy its financial obligations to former employees. As a result, the former employees of Emerald IL commenced an action in a court of competent jurisdiction in Israel to liquidate Emerald IL and use any assets to satisfy the debts owed to the former employees.
